Pros

Most mid-managers willing to work with you on home life issues Autonomy to do your job Great place to find your career if you are hired in as a college intern/recruit

Cons

It's not what you know, it's who you know. Most management positions are filled by college interns/recruits who are then put into "succession" plans to further develop and promote them. "Open" supervisory and management positions are usually filled before even being posted on internal job board.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
